In the process of scrap metal recycling and reuse, scrap iron briquetting machine undoubtedly plays an important role. It compresses large and irregular scrap iron, scrap steel, metal scraps, etc. into regular metal blocks through strong pressure, which is convenient for transportation and smelting. In this huge equipment, there is a component that is often overlooked but crucial, that is - the internal mold.
What is a scrap iron briquetting machine mold?
Simply put, the mold is the "mold cavity" inside the briquetting machine for metal forming. Scrap iron is fed into the mold under high pressure, and through the extrusion of the upper and lower dies, it is finally formed into briquettes of regular size. This is like a mold for making cookies, except that this time the "raw material" is hard metal, and the goal is a dense and durable metal block.
Structural composition of the mold
A standard scrap iron briquetting machine mold usually consists of the following parts:
Brick cavity: that is, the area where the metal enters and is compressed and formed, which determines the size and shape of the briquette.
Upper die and lower die: press from the upper and lower directions respectively, which are the parts of the mold that bear the heaviest pressure and wear the most.
Partial side pressure structure: The three-way pressing equipment will be equipped with left and right side pressure devices to achieve multi-directional molding and improve density.
The mold is one of the "hearts" of the scrap iron briquetting machine, and its performance directly determines the quality and efficiency of the briquetting. As a manufacturer or metal recycling practitioner, understanding and paying attention to the material selection, structure and maintenance of the mold is an important part of ensuring the smooth progress of the briquetting operation and improving economic benefits.
In the future, with the development of new materials and CNC processing technology, the mold of the scrap iron briquetting machine will also become more intelligent and durable, bringing more possibilities to the resource recycling industry.
